What Is The Cause Of Pain And Swelling?

Hi - I had surgery in February 2012 to remove all ducts from one of my breasts. I have had severe pain & swelling for the last 3 days. Could this have anything to do with my menstrual cycle or could it be an infection? (I had several infections before having surgery).

Hi,

I think that this condition of your can be due to local infection so a course of broad spectrum antibiotics will be required for this condition.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
